    I want to get a thread going on the most ridicously priced part (not meant to be offensive to one of our favorite Sponsor Daniel). I don't think it needs to be the most expensive, but more like $700 NASA hammer which makes you go "kidding me"

    I'll start the submission with $55/lb kluger grease for the flywheel

    HMMMMM, I know some guys that do fiberglass work. Much bigger profits than surfboards.

    And who can forget that $12,000 F1 pump??? With that I can buy 2 well built engines for my STi!

    Of course this is the price we pay to support a winning F1 team, right? :D

    This isn't in the range of the $12K F1 pump, but I think that $74 for the glove box strut is pretty high...

    Is the engine considered a "part" or an "assembly"?

    I vote for the F1 pump, or the glovebox strut.

    The used part market is just as rediculous, if not worse! If I ever decide to get rid of my car... i'm not selling it for $4?K, i'm going to part it out... I can make somewhere in the $3M range instead!! it'll be like trading my 348 for a few Enzo's, or a different 430 for each day of the week, PLUS a Diablo Roadster!!

    Places like THIS should be fuggin ashamed of themselves!!

    No kidding. It is crazy when you start to add up ALL the individual parts prices.
